I wanted this book to be good, but the idea of a “evil” protagonist, despite all the hype around its “reversal” of tropes is not actually as monumental as reviewers would have it seem. Not only are there many examples, there are many better examples. Otherwise, the book was blindingly fast-paced and confusingly plotted. The random sci-fi revelation was both unwelcome and not elaborated on. The worldbuilding and magic system is barely touched on and frankly seemed a little lazy. While I enjoy a good revenge story, this one did not make the grade…
